Hey Little Cupcake! in Manchester

The creations here are cute, creative…and scrumptious! Just take a look at my Cookie Monster cupcake: I almost felt guilty eating him up. There are a few tables, but any treats can also be packaged and taken away. Sign up to their newsletter for a discount.

We ordered a cake for our mums 60th birthday however the cake had melted due to the weather being so warm. Hey little cupcake were very attentive and made us a new cake even dropping it off at the restaurant where our party was. Very helpful staff highly recommend!

I had two of the cupcakes from here and they were dry, the buttercream fell off the cake. Won’t be buying again considering the price.

Purchased my daughter 21st cake absolutely fabulous. We chose the biscotti cake and was not disappointed, I would definitely recommend.

We went for afternoon tea. The shop was decked out with beautiful looking cakes and the staff were friendly. But when our afternoon tea came out, it consisted of a very sparse 3 tier cake stand that contained cheap white bread sandwiches, dry scones, two macarons, two strawberries and the tiniest cupcakes (that were mostly buttercream, which we scraped off) you’ve ever seen. Compared to everything on show, it looked like my kid made the cakes at school. Disappointing. We definitely wouldn’t go back.

Today we went as a group of 5 and they were fab. Food was lovely - just the right amount. Really friendly staff - nothing was any trouble. And they treated my niece like the princess she is. Great value for money too. Thanks so much!!

I took my daughter for the beauty and the beast Afternoon tea today. We had such a lovely time. The food was delicious and the service was excellent, nothing was too much trouble. We can’t wait to go back .

Amazing little shop and Lovely afternoon tea! Staff were friendly and very welcoming😊 definitely be recommending to friends.

Excellent Cakes After a disappointing visit to the Midland hotel for their afternoon tea, dropped in to give the kids some real cakes. The cakes were fresh and tasted delicious, the coffee was good too. We will definitely be back. Thanks again

My sisters and I brought my daughter here for a Beauty and the Beast Afternoon Tea before we went to see the show at the Palace Theatre. It was the perfect intro with the themed table, cakes and treats and with the soundtrack playing in the background. The staff were very friendly and attentive. There was more than enough for the 4 of us and we brought any leftovers home. We also bought more cakes to bring home as we couldn’t resist. Would highly recommend and look forward to another visit soon.

Fantastic afternoon tea. We came here for our friends hen do who is A Disney fan. The set up was cute and the food was fab. The scones were amazing. My friend loved it and said it was one of her favourite things about the hen do. I would definitely recommend. Loved the beauty and the beast music that was played too. Staff were friendly and very welcoming. Shame we live so far away to return but I will recommend to anyone who is in the area. Thank you.

We had the beauty and the beast themed afternoon tea. The service was lovely, the afternoon tea was ok, there was no choice of sandwiches and they were a bit plain (pre sliced cheese with no chutney on white bread). The cakes were nice and the service was very good but I don’t think I’d rush back. The cake pops were brilliant!

A gift for a friend absolutely loved it so much fun and we decorated our cakes & they look fab Well organised & friendly staff greeted with a hot drink on a rainy December night Fabulous gift for someone , good fun for all Definitely be back 5*

Really impressed by the quality of the cakes on sale. Ordered two rainbow cakes for our wedding and a flamingo cake for a do beforehand, as well as two different lots of gluten free cupcakes. A really reliable company who always had everything ready to go when they said it would be which is invaluable when you're event planning. I'm very impressed and would certainly recommend them to anyone thinking about taking the plunge with Hey Little Cupcake. Professional cakes and a professional service.

We looooove HLC!! The only thing I’ve asked for my birthday this year is their red velvet cupcakes; they are so perfect and delicious. Moist, creamy and utterly delightful. Much to my surprise, I found that they’re doing delivery through lockdown and their brownies are also impeccable too! Thanks so much for baking these beauties. We’ll be sad to move away next year!

I always love going to the shop in the centre of Manchester, as it is just decorated so cheerily and it’s nice to sit down with a brew and one of their lovely cakes. The only criticism is that sometimes you get a cake that...

Cosy and cute with very friendly and personal staff. The cakes aren't cheap but they're all fantastic, looking and tasting.

My neices had a fantastic time on the 4 hour class. They learnt lots of good tips and found the staff extremely friendly and helpful. They enjoyed the baking and decorating but also said the afternoon tea was excellent too. We definitely recommend this as...

Ordered using the too good to go app, I like how they are fighting food waste and providing great looking and tasting cakes. Ethics and great as the cakes.

We had their Christmas afternoon tea - cakes, macarons, scones, meringues and mince pies were all really delicious! Sandwiches were also really good with festive fillings and really nice little touches on the tables. It was nice to be able to choose any drinks from...

After visiting alertly edge to buy a birthday cake (at another cake shop) I was disappointed that the shop was shut after specially travelling for an hour. I knew straight away that Hey Little Cupcake does amazing cakes and to be honest I didn’t know...

Cannot rate this place enough! Ordered a cake for my sisters birthday and ordered it to the wrong store (they also have a concession in the Trafford Centre) because I’m daft. Megan was extremely helpful and came up with an alternative cake for me, thank...

Got some cupcakes from here for a birthday and was pretty disappointed. The actual cakse didn't taste of anything and so the only taste was the sugar from the icing. Maybe the other cakes are better but the cute decoration on the cupcakes doesn't make...

We stayed in Manchester for my sisters 30th birthday, being from Wales it would have been a bit difficult to get a cake made and bring it with us, and not being from the area it would have been difficult to pick one up, not...

This place is amazing! Although only tiny, the smell is so strong the second you open the door, fresh fresh cake! Every single cake in this place looks as good as it tastes. I went in for afternoon tea with a friend back in September...

Ordered a large cake for a friends party and was not disappointed. Excellent customer service over email, quick responses and listened to exactly my requests. Cake was beautiful and really delicious. Easy collection from Selfridges at the Trafford Centre. Would definitely use again and would...

Came here because of my girlfriend. It's a little too pink for me but the cakes were lovely so I wasn't disappointed. Would recommend to have it for takeaway.

Had a 1 hour cup cake session at Hey Little cup cakes, it was a brilliant experience, Sarah was very clear with her instructions and we decorated 4 cupcakes each to a very high standard. Would highly recommend if you want to do something a...

Had a trip to Manchester for my husbands birthday and wanted to purchase some sort of cake as a surprise. Decided to go for cupcakes. Googled a few places and this was close to The Radisson where we were staying. Great selection of cupcakes and...

We bought a range of different cakes and whilst they all looked beautiful, and you could tell that the flavours were there, they were the dryers cakes I’ve ever had. Such a shame as they are not the cheapest either!

I can not say enough about my experience with HLCC,From the consultation to actually seeing and tasting them on our wedding day we couldn’t have been any happier. Melanie who I liaised with from the start to the big day was so friendly and warm...

Trendy layout of bold colors. 3 tables inside and 2 outside. Felt roomy when we visited, however we were the only ones in at the time. Great cupcake designs and excellent quality products. Served fresh daily. Functional takeaway boxes available, that keep the cakes from...

Visited with my 10 year old daughter as a birthday treat for a Beauty and the Beast afternoon tea . On booking was assured there would be mrs Potts tea pot and other deco . Sadly this was not the case just a chip cup...

I visited here yesterday with my youngest daughter, we went into Manchester for another reason but knew we were wanting to visit here, I think we must of walked around Spinningfields three times before we found it! However, when we did, it was worth it!...

Went with a friend for dessert. Cupcakes were dry and tasteless, therefore over priced. We truly felt let down with the selection of poor desserts. The cupcakes had no sugar in!! Will definitely not be returning if it stays the same. The reason I’ve given...

I love the brownies you get here and we dont have one in Northern Ireland so i asked if they would post me some and they did!!!! They ere very quick to respond and very pleasant to deal with and the brownies are AMAZING!!!

Cute little cupcake shop with seating inside. Apart from looking amazing, the cupcakes also tasted amazing which is exciting contrary to the usual fake-tasting, good-looking ones normally found in big city coffee shops. There were also pretty Easter-themed cupcakes on sale.

I ordered a selection of cupcakes from Hey Little Cupcakes to celebrate my daughter's birthday. She lives away from home and it was important to me to provide a special surprise treat since the family couldn't be with her for her birthday. I was really...

I attended a cupcake bouquet class today. This is the 2nd class I’ve attended at Hey Little Cupcake. It was thoroughly enjoyable. The class was 2 hours - you get a drink on arrival and a free apron. However, because this was our second class...

Lovely afternoon tea at a lovely location. The staff very attentive, cakes simply delicious.would go again.

Just had one of the best afternoon tea’s at Hey Little Cup Cake. Sandwiches, scones and cakes delicious. Service by Melanie was excellent. Would certainly go again

Nice range of sandwiches and cupcakes... Because there was 6 of us they did skimp a bit on the sandwiches... they had them cupcake shape when my son went with his GF but with us they just left them in triangular shape.

Came across this place by chance, looks fairly new. Friendly staff and the place offers a wide range of cupcakes to which were a good standard. Have to say £2 for tea is a little excessive but would recommend for the cakes.

I shared afternoon tea with my granddaughter. The sandwiches were fresh, tasty and thoroughly enjoyable. Scones were freshly baked and melted in your mouth. Macaroons were velvety soft and the choc-dipped strawberries delicious. We didn't have room for the dainty cupcakes - no problem as...

Both myself and daughter thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Hey Little Cupcake for afternoon tea on monday 24th July. We were in Manchester to celebrate my birthday. The welcome and friendliness of the staff was lovely and the afternoon tea which consisted of freshly made...

Absolutely disgusted. Pop up cake stall in selfridges Trafford centre promised "selfie cupcakes" for Father's Day . Paid £6 for two and sent the pictures by email to the manager running the concession. I work in the trafford centre so was told they would be...

I wanted to treat my niece to afternoon tea for her 10th birthday but didn't want to go somewhere really pretentious. Hey little cupcake seemed great value for money and the ideal place. Yes it's small but perfectly formed. The sandwiches and cakes where gorgeous...

Called in for tea and cake, the aroma in the shop is heaven, beautifully decorated cakes that taste sublime. Definitely a place to find and visit.

We ordered a birthday cake here last month. As highlighted in a reviewer's review earlier, the cake is very beautiful. However, it is extremely sweet. Other than cake-ordering, this is also known for their beautifully designed Halloween cupcakes, as well as ordering a small venue...

I attended 'Hey Little Cupcake' and was thoroughly disappointed. I had researched this place prior to visiting and unfortunately, it was completely different to how I envisioned. On the afternoon my friend and I went in, there was a choice of only 8 cupcake flavours....

I ate here today with my friend, as we was looking for a "cake shop", as we wanted a cake and a drink. Firstly the staffs reaction to when I asked for coca and they bought out a warm bottle of cheap coke! I asked...

Booked decorating cupcake party for my granddaughter and friends, everyone had a fabulous time. A big thank you to Sean who helped make the occasion a success. We also finished with the afternoon tea, delightful, nothing too much trouble. Would highly recommend it!

Hey Little Cupcake made us the most beautiful cupcakes for our afternoon tea event held at the Victoria and Albert Hotel. Our event was phantom of the opera and the bespoke cupcakes met our theme and colour scheme perfectly. Guests were full of compliments for...

I saw this cupcake class advertised online and booked on it. We arrived at hey little cupcake and received a warm welcome and a lovely cup of tea. The venue is lovely and bright. My granddaughter joined 5 other girls ranging from 7 to 15...

This place could be so much better. I'm sure it does really well in online/telephone orders and calling in for take away cakes. However as a cafe don't bother! My husband and I googled afternoon tea places for children to take our little boy on...

It is the second time I have ordered cakes/cupcakes from HLC for my daughter's birthday party. Absolutely gorgeous and delicious! The kids loved them and the parents too :) I will definitely continue ordering from HLC for future events and I fully recommend.

Great value, friendly and creative service - Hey little cupcake makes the perfect gift or extra special touch for any occasion. Wide variety of flavours available and no request is too big or small. I am SO SO HAPPY!! My cupcakes are (almost) too good...

Amazing customer service , couldn't be more happy to help! I visited from Wales and had a box of 6 cupcakes from the team at HLC to collect from selfridges Birmingham. Delicious cupcakes with a range of delightful flavours, great cakes and tastes. All fresh...

Ordered cup cakes for my daughters graduation on the 3rd December. Sarah could not have been more helpful, brilliant customer service.The cupcakes were delightful, so light and the presentation was lovely. Thank you so much Sarah.

It's a shame how poor the service is in the store as I love the cakes. the staff appear to have a chip on their shoulder and offer truly dreadful service. They are both rude and unhelpful to the point they refrain from even cracking...

Popped in to grab a few cupcakes for a friends birthday (weekday lunchtime) and when we ate them all four were incredibly dry and bland. The thing with cupcakes (especially when costing more than £2 each), I expect them to be made fresh everyday. Clearly...

Get day, fun making cup cakes in the hey little cup cake shop . I bought this as a gift for my mother in law, she had so much fun & enjoyed every minute of it. We made cute Christmas cupcakes :)

I love this place because I am sentimental! That said, their cupcakes and mahoosive brownies are a treat...and the Darjeeling Earl Grey tea is just delightful.

I have been a fan of hey little cupcake for a few years, lots of delicious cupcakes and brownies to choose from, but this was my first time getting an afternoon tea! I have tried a few afternoon tea places in Manchester and I wasn't...

Rainbow cake was sold out I purchased the cookies and creme cake.. it tasted stale like very old and it was just gross absolutely disgusting... sorry this was at the Selfridges birmingham.. I will have to drop this bakery. Stale cakes are just not acceptable.

We went here for my daughters birthday. There were 5 in our party. We booked in advance as we were told they only had a few tables. On arrival we were greeted by a lovely man who showed us to our table and took our...

Went afternoon tea and it was amazing, especially the mini cupcakes and chocolate strawberries, also an amazing hot chocolate with marshmallows and cream, cant wait to attend again..

What a cute wee place that a friend took me to. Only a couple of tables inside so it was luck we got one. What a choice of cupcakes. Took me far too long to decide as I wanted to try them all! Coffee is...

Called on the off chance with family, cakes were ok but expensive. No atmosphere and staff seemed too engrossed to even know we were there. Didn't even acknowledge us when we left. Won't be recommending or returning.

Excellent customer service, delivered exactly when they were supposed to be and totally delicious. What more can you ask for?

this is a great place for afternoon tea and very reasonably priced. The service is great, we were greeted and seated and offered drinks as soon as we arrived. Our afternoon tea stand was then brought out to us which consisted of sandwiches, scones, macarons,...

We visited Hey Little Cup Cake today (9th Feb 2016) for Afternoon Tea as a birthday treat for our manager. We were VERY impressed. As it was pre booked, when we arrived the table was all lay out ready for us. We were presented with...

I was extremely puzzled to what and where i was to get my husbands birthday cake i have had the cakes from the bullring selfridges counter and just WoW. If any person has had Hummingbird bakery cakes this is the next best thing Sorry guys...

My children and I called in to be greeted by another customer shouting at the young girl behind the counter and then walking out. The girl said nothing, no apology, she just looked at us! We ordered some drinks and cupcakes and sat down but...

Was looking forward to visiting this apparent gem of a place, it had seemed like a great concept and had good reviews. Upon arrival, we were met with a blank faced "it's fully booked" and an expectation to leave the premise immediately as a result....

Hmmm, a bit disappointing if I'm honest. Service was very slow, maybe the guy who served us was new? It's very small inside, so when we arrived we ended up sitting outside even though there was only one other party in the cafe - maybe...
